XII. TO HERA

(ll. 1-5) I sing of golden-throned Hera whom Rhea bare. Queen of the

immortals is she, surpassing all in beauty: she is the sister and the

wife of loud-thundering Zeus,—the glorious one whom all the blessed

throughout high Olympus reverence and honour even as Zeus who delights

in thunder.
